Improvement in puddling-furnaces



. the operator can readily examine the condition ofthe pot (its contents) through the door, and thus add all necessary (cinder and water) for mixing and thickening at any period. The cinder or overw ooeurringjiows or passes off at tap-hole f, Fig. 1, into einder-spout j?, at regular intervals, till the iron comes to nature. At this stage, the bottom, if necessary, can be stopped, and the process of hailing by hand, if small blooms arerequired, can be done as ordinary, or said bottom can be continued to run, and the hailing operation can be done by cutting or separating the young blooms till the required size is obtained. The simplicity of operation, cheapness of construction, and various advantages of my said improvements are readily apparent.
